Where can one hire a company that offers managed search engine marketing services?
There are many companies that offer SEO online. The real question might be which ones are worth your money and time. One way to find the best ones are to search for terms like "SEO Company" and "SEO Services" on Google and pick a company from the top listings (not paid) on the first page. This will of course find you a company that knows how to get themselves ranked so you know what they're doing, however, their costs can be somewhat insane to some budgets.
Whenever possible, another good way to judge the company is by how many of their customers have stayed with them. This is usually also a good indicator of the success of an SEO company.

How many pictures are there on Google images?
OK--So, we'll take Flickr for instance: as of Sep. 2010 5 billion or 5,000,000,000 images
I figure exponentially as of this moment that is about 10 billion or 10,000,000,000 images
The other top 20 are headed towards this same mark so lets just say for argument sake it is 10 billion times 20
That will take into account Picasa, PhotoBucket, smugmug, flickr, fotki, care2, webshots, dotphoto, advanquest, myphotoalbum, KodakGallery, PBase, Photoshop, and about 10 or so others, that is an easy 200 billion photos!
Now, If you consider the unnamed photo places, other group, both public and private, and photos for servers, web pages, facebooks, and other social media and ad photos, and foreign entities, you will have to arrive at a number at any given second on the web there are at least 500 billion to 1 trillion photos online at any given second. I could be way off here, but this is a start! Just imagine 1,000,000,000,000 photos both foreign n domestic at any given second.

How do you know that the information you read on any website is reliable?
Credible sites for facts are governmental, for instance fbi.gov, educational - MIT, NASA or other known contributors such as McGraw hill. Such sites are thought trustworthy...
Other site like wikipedia.org (or this one...) where anyone can contribute should not be trusted unless the fact is backed up by another trustworthy source.
If Hillbilly Mike (got no proper education) starts a website about quantum physics....
So to sum up:
Look at the domain name, .org, .gov, specific country domain name (.se, .co.uk, .fr etc)
Is the site layout professional?
Is it a known site?
Do they have sources from where they got their facts? (book, publication, other site)

How do you get to your personal settings on my Yahoo account?

What are some strategies for choosing the best search engine?
This question is in reference to search engines, not Web browsers.
SE's run on Database and Software technology that are closely guarded trade secrets.
There is publicly avail. information about them like "Google uses a database trademarked BigTable that is distributed across at least 10,000 data centers" ..."it may or may not use relational databases," --It HAS to cache common and new search terms which is likely accomplished semantically. How often, when, where and how it does this remains unknown. The system is so dynamic-- debugging is a daily task and like any distributed processor is vulnerable to a virus-however we cannot verify that.
(as opposed to browsers-which run locally: easy to verify and fix but OT)
You will find that each SE returns very different results I had a preference for MetaCrawler's ability to search ALL search engines. I now have a preference for Google because I have had an account for some time so their system keeps a record of all the things I'm likely to search for and can return the most relevant results (to me specifically) in the least amount of time.
Cool technology...also a bit creepy.
However, if you sign up with ask or yahoo etc...they can do the same thing...just in a different way.
Consider narrowing your choice down as opposed to choosing. If you know exactly what you are looking for like "who was that guy who was in that movie?" you only need one. For research purposes it's worth it to plug the same search term into three or more different SE's....the variety of results you'll get reduces any bias in the machines, people or advertising $ that powers them.
